Shooting video on the K-X and it won't play back in Windows Movie (Vista) without stuttering and jumping. Plays fine on the camera and I've read the video length will cut short on a slow media card but nothing covers the problem I'm having.(Inov8 4gb HC 'classic'- probably a bog standard card)
Any ideas?

You need to play with different video codec's on your computer. This has nothing to do with the camera really. It is not uncommon for computers to struggle with particular video encoding especially if it is HD.

What processor and ram you running btw?

My bro found he had to updrade to quad core before he could edit HD video.

It's an Intel core 2 duo T5450 @ 1.66ghz with 2gb of ram. Managed to find a hint online that a faster card (Scan disk extreme) might overcome the stuttering issue but codecs are familliar to me so will have a play.

That spec is low<mediocre for working with HD.

I also assumed that you had transferred to your hard drive, if you havent its very likely that the card read rate is the issue. Try that first.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
